    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    Ok so I have figured out the issue on my network I think. When I have iPhones plugged in charging they then usually perform iCloud backup which clobbers all other wireless client's performance. So what wireless ap/router is best to guarantee performance of all connected clients? So if I have 2...

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    Ok isn't it true if I have two R7000 then every device connected to each one in theory can transfer data at AC1900 (600+1300mbps) speeds? So that is more than enough to supply the PS4 with the full speed of my 75mbps Comcast connection. The topology is like this: (cable modem GIGE)----(R7000...

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    So what is the problem with wireless bridging? Is it just lousy performance?

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    Running cable and drilling into the walls isn't an option otherwise I wouldn't have posted the thread. Wifi is obviously always suboptimal in every way to a wired connection.

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    I know it's also a switch. My point being I have multiple devices remote to where my internet connection comes in the house therwise i wouldn't need wifi for anything but my iPhones. PS4 and TiVo wifi at 802.11N. Therefore if I connect the devices to gigabit Ethernet which happens to be...

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    Haha so I should just give up on 3rd party and just get comcast's box then? I'm guessing if it's anything like their service it's not going to be reliable/stable and it's painful to get support for it I'm sure.

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    I may have not made it clear but I have my separate cable modem and wireless AP/router in the middle of the house "office" so my gaming PC is wired directly to Comcast and to get an even signal around the house. My TV/Entertainment center is in the "Family" room which contains the TiVo and PS4...

    Looking for router purchase advice last time I bought unwisely

    Hey People -- my current router setup has never worked that well so I'm in shopping mode. I've read the reviews on this forum. While the reviews are good for raw performance, I also want some reliability information from owners. The top AC1900 router I see on this site is the Netgear R7000...

    WZR-D1800H / bridge deal or two RT-AC66u s

    I'm thinking of buying this since it's a great price: http://tech.woot.com/offers/buffalo-gigabit-dualband-router-bridge I need to have a bridge since my entertainment center is full of wired stuff (Bluray/Xbox/TV/Tivo) so a 4-port bridge would be ideal. But I'm wondering if Buffalo is...

    Bought two RT-N66U s thought they have media bridge mode but they don't need advice

    On second thought I'm just going to try and return them even though they're open now. I'll get the AC model instead since it has the "media bridge" feature. At this point I'm too old and lazy to mess with custom firmware. I'd rather just have it work fine out of the box.

    Bought two RT-N66U s thought they have media bridge mode but they don't need advice

    I'll take a look at the bridge tab. Perhaps I just missed the config option because it's slightly different. I was also considering loading a 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT or whatever else I can find. Ok so it looks like the bridge tab only does WDS or wireless repeating. Where you can connect...

    Bought two RT-N66U s thought they have media bridge mode but they don't need advice

    Hey guys. Great site. I made my purchase decision based on this site. Did some googling on the RT-N66U thinking that the firmware had a bridge option: http://support.asus.com/FAQ/Detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&no=42392BBD-29F7-D0C7-6E04-BA444E44B750&m=RT-N66U%20(VER.B1) Note that the support FAQ...
